Triple Eight car history book pre-orders now open

THE history of every Supercar built and raced by Triple Eight Race Engineering is to be included in a bumper, 400-page hardcover collector’s official book being produced by the award-winning V8 Sleuth team.

Available to pre-order here now from the V8 Sleuth Superstore, the publication features never-before-published photographs and insights from team members about every Falcon, Commodore and Camaro Supercar produced by the Brisbane-based team.

Each book – officially licenced by Triple Eight Race Engineering – will be individually numbered as a limited-edition product.

The new book follows on the heels of the smash-hit books documenting the history of cars built and raced by the Holden Racing Team, Dick Johnson Racing and Perkins Engineering.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Triple Eight in Supercars since it purchased the Briggs Motorsport team in 2003 and made its debut in that year’s Sandown 500 endurance race.

Since then, it has gone on to win nine Bathurst 1000s, 10 Drivers Championships and 11 Teams Championships.

V8 Sleuth’s Aaron Noonan, Stefan Bartholomaeus and Will Dale are compiling the publication that includes all of the team’s Bathurst 1000 and championship-winning cars driven by Supercars legends Craig Lowndes, Jamie Whincup, Shane van Gisbergen and so many more.

Insight from key Triple Eight figures including Mark Dutton, Jeromy Moore, long-time team engineer Ludo Lucroix and many, many more make this a must-have publication.

Long-time Team Principal Roland Dane has penned the foreword for the new book, which also includes a section covering the customer cars built by Triple Eight for the likes of Dick Johnson Racing, TEKNO Autosports, Paul Morris Motorsports, Team 18 and Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport.

It also includes the complete racing results of each of the cars the team has raced from the first Briggs-built Betta Electrical Falcon BAs right through to the end of the last Gen2 era Red Bull Ampol Commodore ZBs, as well as comprehensive team and driver statistics.

The book is expected to arrive in stock in September 2023, making it the perfect Father’s Day and Christmas present.

Visit the V8 Sleuth Superstore here now to pre-order your copy and ensure you don’t miss out on this piece of Triple Eight history.
